I have an Century Arms Yugo underfolder. i bought a USPALM ak grip for it, i tried to install it and the allen screw seemed to be slightly larger then the current one that came with my ak. after trying to force screwing in the new grip i stripped out the housing. how can i fix this? the housing looks to be rivited on the receiver. is it going to have to be gun smithed to be fixed?

And the USPALM accessory rail seems to be to short and gets in the way of the grenade sight.

Pics arent showing, if your pg nut is welded into the frame which it shouldnt be you will need to either tap it for a larger screw, or cut out the current nut and install the standard replacement nut that is free floating just cut out the old one to fit the newer ones.

The Yugo pistol grip screw lug is a piece that is riveted to the bottom of the receiver. This is different from the AKM and AK74 style pistol grip screw lug that fits through a hole from inside the receiver.

Pick a screw that you want to use, and have a gunsmith chase the threads in the pistol grip screw lug to match. This will allow you to screw in and tighten the pistol grip screw.

Looks like it's only stripped a bit at the end.  Take the original screw and put it from the top and screw it down.  It may clean up the threads enough that it will work again.
